Curriculum:
The curriculum covers reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and writing… and more writing. Nearly every student can make improvements in areas like increasing sentence variety, improving word choice, fine-tuning organization, crafting openers and conclusions, fortifying support for their opinions or responding to texts. Students may also choose to prepare for standardized tests and enter writing contests.

Class Structure
Class includes writing exercises, peer feedback and review activities. Instructors highlight excerpts of weekly writing homework that are done well and things that need work. Students can learn from these observations- both what to do and what NOT to do. Paired students get the benefit of discussing stories together and seeing how a peer responds to the writing prompts.
In addition, students learn to recognize and appreciate the insight of others as they discuss the class novel or listen to the thesis of an argument. As the cohort develops, there is a natural accountability, as students generally don't want to be the one who didn't study their vocabulary words or keep up with the reading.
Although partner learning is the ideal setting for most students, private lessons can be an option, particularly for unique learning needs or in the event that there is no available suitable partner.
